Condition
Colours:
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is slightly deeper and richer in the original.
Condition:
The work is in very good condition. The upper right corner is slightly rubbed and there are a few tiny specks of residue from the casting process to the recesses and recess edges throughout. There are a few small spots of discolouration to the patina in places with some very light and unobtrusive rub marks, predominantly to the two flat panels in the central part of the work. There are scattered handling marks around the edges and to the flat panels, the majority of which can be removed with a light polish. The base is slightly rubbed around the edges.
